Vanderbilt Football student-athlete Diego Pavia's motion regarding limitations on the NCAA's eligibility rules has been granted a preliminary injunction that will allow him to compete in 2025. U.S. District Court Judge William Campbell writing, in part: "The Court is not persuaded that restricting the NCAA Division I eligibility of former junior college athletes to three or four years is relevant to the 'differentiated athletic product' of Division I football. The NCAA eligibility rules allow other forms of post-secondary education and athletic competition without "counting" against eligibility. [...] Given the different treatment of other student athletes, with comparable or more post-secondary experience, the NCAA's assertion that the eligibility rules are necessary to prevent age and experience, disparities and preserve the quality of experience for student athletes falls flat."
